| DAC finalist please help Border patrol dacs are very nice and well received and have a Tubed power supply. That’s what I’ll get when money allows. For now my musical fidelity v90 dac does the job @ $299.....😁, a border line class A recommended component in Stereophile. It... | |
| what are your cartridge set up go to The Nasotec tweezers are great. I also use a pro ject align it tool, seeing as most of my arms are of the 9c, 9cc variety. It’s somewhat similar to the feikart, but it instead has a small disc which rests precisely on the top tonearm bearing. I fi... | |
| Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables I bought two pair of audioquest type 4 no frills from audio advisor. I had them terminate the speaker ends of the two pair with spades. On the amp end, one pair is terminated with spades, the other with bananas. This way, I am able to avoid doubli... | |
| High end Class D amps? The rogue sphinx is a nicely designed class D/tube hybrid integrated. A very tastefully done design and no nonsense looks. The top of the line Marantz integrated is of a class D design. Not certain but I think it’s the PM 10. Also, the well review... | |

| Music Hall MMF 7.3 Question The cartridge the table comes with is a fine cartridge, the 2m bronze. That’s what Roy Hall thinks anyhow...he responded in kind to that review on stereophile defending the cartridge choice. Michael Fremer also thinks highly of the 2m bronze, as h... | |
| Music Hall MMF 7.3 Question The ringmat, the original one if it can be had, otherwise the 200 model is a great upgrade. Ringmat has long been used/recommended with this table. The eroica h or lx are two cheaper alternate goldring cartridges that go well with the arm. In fact... | |
| Power strips- too many choices The Furman Pst-8, the non digital version, is a great straight forward device that just plain works well. It’s also cheap, not cheaply made. I use one as my second strip, for extra peripherals etc...my main strip is an Audioquest Niagara 1200. | |
| The Future of Speakers? Can't replace the visceral movement of air from a conventional large driver speaker. I'll stick with the tannoys. | |
| As Advised, Starting With Speakers First. It does not matter what you start with. It is the synergy that matters. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Right now, dust, lots of it...gotta get crackin with the feather duster. | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 For that kind of money you could buy a heck of a turntable... but that's just me. There are plenty of dacs under 1k and up to 2k that are just fine. Jeez, even my lowly musical fidelity v90 dac is great @ 299... | |
| Multi Meter Tweak This was just stupid, to think I spent energy moving my hand to click on it.... | |
| Modern Day Good Transport The marantz hd cd1 is a terrific machine. Great as a transport. Also the audiolab cdt6000. | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? The last good modern stuff I bought was a host of Wynton Marsalis stuff when he first hit the scene. Other than that, I stick to acquiring the old stuff. Johnny hodges, miles, hank Mobley, thelonious, cannonball, the bird, ella, nina, sarah V etc... |
